Sustainable for the Future

Sustainability is more than a buzzword to me. When people ask if we are sustainable, I remind them that we have sustained ourselves here in the Arroyo Grande Valley for three generations, going back to when my grandfather started farming here in 1948. You will notice increasingly physical and tangible examples of our commitment to sustainability when you purchase our wines or visit the winery. We just bottled our first wines to bear SIP Certification (Sustainability in Practice). Our photovoltaic solar installation, generating 80% of the power we use, is plainly visible to everyone who visits. We now recycle our winery waste water for use in our vineyards and other farming operations. Finally, and most prominent for visitors to our tasting room, we are changing our landscaping. The beautiful fountain in our central courtyard has been converted to a succulent garden. This will be the first small step toward a more drought tolerant landscape that will reduce our water use and extend our commitment to sustainability for the fourth generation of my family. - BT
